2. When looking at the lyrics I have decided
that I should create the music video based
entirely on the performance of the artist.
This is because the lyrics are reflecting on
the past therefore I believe it should follow
the convention of a soul music video on
being either all narrative or all
performance.
3. “I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?”
Shots that could be used
• Long shot
• Medium shot
• Close up
This introduces the artist with the lyrics giving off the impression of
her reflecting on somebody in her past with the present tense and
repetition of '' I heard…'' This will be in a scenic place with the main
focus on the artist so that the audience is introduced to her and the
performance and emotion is showed clearly.
4. “Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over”
Shots that could be used
• Close up
• Medium shot
• Pan shot
The facial expression will be emphasised on the line “but I couldn’t
stay away, I couldn’t fight it” to show the emotion of the artist. This
allows the audience to relate to the song as it shows emotions within
it.
5. “Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
You know how the time flies”
Shots that could be used
• Long shot
• Zoom
• Medium shot
• Pan shot
This will be on a plain background with the artist in the
foreground and being the main focus as the concentration will
be on the lyrics and the expressions of the artist and using a
plain background also fits in with the genre of soul music
videos.
6. “Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet”
Shots that could be used
• Long shot
• Close up
An idea of this would be the artist is looking towards a house
or a figure in the distance to represent the lyrics and the
thoughts of the artist.
7. “Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?”
Shots that could be used
• Medium long shot
This again will focus on the artists facial expression and
emotions so a plain background or scenery will be used.
8. “Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too”
Shots that could be used
• Pan
• Medium shot
This shot will have the artist walking along a road or street as
it will portray her walking away from the past and starting
afresh “ never mind I’ll find someone like you”
9. “Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
Shots that could be used
• Meduim shot
• Close up
In this section the artist s bringing her emotions and
reflection to a end so the artist may be sat down or looking at
a figure in the distance. Either way it will be main focus on
the artist.
